A call to the Thalia Theater in Hamburg.
Me: “Hello. Can you tell me if the Nachtasyl (the pub in the theater) is accessible?”
Silence at the other end.
Me: “I’d like to know if I can get into the Nachtasyl in a wheelchair.”
Thalia Theater: “The theater’s closed for the summer.”
Me: “That’s not what I asked. I’d like to know if it’s possible to get into the Nachtasyl in a wheelchair.”
Thalia Theater: “If you bring strong people with you.”
